Is your cold-cuts-on-wheat sandwich routine growing tiresome? We hear you. Whenever we need a dose of creativity to liven up our bread-based meals, we turn to Food Network’s resident Sandwich King, Jeff Mauro. Here are a few favorite Sandwich King creations — some more over the top than others, but all guaranteed to never bore your taste buds.

In the ultra-decadent category, Jeff's grilled cheese sandwich is unlike any you've ever had. A helping of creamy mac and cheese makes up the super-cheesy filling, and crispy bacon adds crunch.

This isn’t your childhood PB&J, but it’s still downright comforting. Jeff takes this lunchtime staple to the next level by using raspberry preserves in addition to sliced bananas and potato chips, for crunch. The real surprise is in the sweet, crisp bread, which he dips in egg and cinnamon-square cereal before frying.

This is a sandwich worthy of the dinner table. When making meatloaf, Jeff says, the key to juicy texture is to use one egg for every pound of meat you have. Once it's cooked, slice it and serve on potato rolls with crispy onions and bread-and-butter pickles — you can't go wrong.
